Last Friday I quit a little early and went home to load up and go to camp, when got out of the truck and walk round the side of the house theres a big azz doe standing in My backyard just staring at Me, She turned and jumped the fence and went 5 yards into the neighbors lil wood lot and stopped, I have seen her around for the past few weeks , never seen her with a fawn so I decided if I had the chance I was gonna try to run a arrow through her. well I run in the house and grab My bow and sneak back around the other end of the house and there she is back in My yard eating acorns again, I raised My bow and as I draw back she jumped back into the woods and starts to walk away up into the woods, She gets about 10 yards up the hill and turned right and stepped into a little gap in the foliage, and I let her fly. I heard what sounded like a good hit and she ran off. I waited a half hour and went back and looked all aver the 2 acres woods and nothing, no arrow , no blood , no deer.??? Gave up after an hour of looking and went back to the house and began loading the truck. My neighbor came by and I told him about it so he wanted to help me find the deer. we looked for another 45 mins or so with no luck. well I came home from work tonight and he pulled in behind me, tells me his mother saw some buzzards in between her house and the woods . he went out and found My doe in his mothers garden spot, it wasn't planted this summer so its just a weed patch. just 10 yards on the other side of the lil woodlot we were searching, she only went 60 yards or so . just FN sick bout it

Man that does suck! Last year we had the same thing happen........buddy killed a deer with a 308.......not much blood trail and he thought he heard it crash on the right side of the plot...........we looked and found nothing........my experience with 308 almost everytime.....so the next day we smell something and it is laying 25 yards from the stand on the opposite side of the plot........
